Brain Test Level 273 Walkthrough & Answer

## Question **Brain Test Level 273:** Remove 3 matches to leave exactly 3 squares ## Answer Identify shared edges — removing a match that borders 2 squares eliminates both, but only costs 1 match. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough A matchstick grid of squares shares common edges. Removing matches from shared borders eliminates multiple squares efficiently. Identify 3 matches whose removal destroys the maximum excess squares, leaving exactly 3. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 273: 1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection. 2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself. 3. Target shared edges first — one match removal can eliminate 2 squares when it's a shared border. 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Efficiency-blind trial-and-error wastes attempts removing random matches. The optimal strategy targets shared edges for maximum impact per removal. This is a basic optimization problem — achieving the goal with minimum resources. ## Why This Level Is Tricky Maximum difficulty Brain Test levels combine multiple trick types into one puzzle. You might need device interaction plus wordplay plus visual misdirection all at once. These multi-layered puzzles test whether you've internalized every trick type from earlier levels and can combine them fluidly. Late-game levels (151-300) frequently require device interaction — tilting your phone, using multiple fingers, shaking the device, or manipulating screen elements outside the puzzle area. Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions. ## Common Mistakes Players frequently make these errors on Level 273: - Overthinking a simple puzzle — sometimes the answer is literally what the question says, with no trick at all. - Not trying to drag or resize on-screen elements, including text, images, and answer options. - Missing that Brain Test sometimes reuses a trick from an earlier level with a slight variation.
